Hutch & Harris

Holy.

When our desserts arrived, suemo and I quietly cracked the sugar and began to lovingly spoon up the sweet, warm custard. We sat eating in silence for a minute. When I looked up, suemo had tears in her eyes. She smiled and spoke.

"I'm so happy."

And then I started laughing, because I understood completely.

(The previous course - sandwiches - was equally impressive, but did not move anyone to tears.)

About Me

I live in Winston-Salem with my husband and our two boys, ages seventeen and thirteen. My late father was a native of this city, and my late mother was a graduate of Salem College. After they married, they moved to Washington, DC, where I grew up, was married, and started my own family. Eleven years ago, I dragged them south and introduced them to backyard muscadines, the Dixie Classic Fair, and Moravian sugarcakes. They promptly declared Winston-Salem "home".
